Astro Prototype (personal project)

Unity demo, slowly adding art content and gameplay as time permits.

UPDATE: I added a single-shot high-damage projectile in addition to the beam weapon (still need to re-do the walking blend tree)

UPDATE: I realized the space suit was a bit wimpy, so I'm doing another pass, trying to get it a bit buikier, mix of diving suit and space suit. And a cooler laser gun. Once I get the shapes blocked in I'll polish up the model and re-bake the texures.

UPDATE: Here's the 1st pass of a new enemy I'm working on with a ranged attack (feeling a bit too beach ball-ish at the moment)

Here's sketchfab version:

mudbox sculpt > maya retop/UVs > sub.painter texture > maya rig/anim

Update: added more aliens, changed camera to more-top down shooter, expanded environment assets, added interior, trying to get a more fun gameplay loop going.

sketching ideas

Mudbox sculpt for big monster (I'm finding it easier for these arthropod-y creatures to separate out the legs, pincers and sculpt with symetry on the brush, much easier!):

Here's a prototype I've been playing around with in Unity, mainly focused on figuring out 3rd person camera/movement with zoom to over-the-shoulder FPS aiming/shooting as well as a chance to play with high-res asset pipeline.

Unity scene, instead of terrain sculpting in editor, I modeled the terrain tiles in Maya that snap together, then used Amplfy shader to create 4 layer blend material that uses RGB mask from Photoshop to blend between textures (dirt, rock, alien crust, alien goop):
